The internet and Sky satellite radio station called “Radio Caroline” has just released a very expensive T-shirt which states the following on its front:
“Declared ‘The Last Outlaw’ in 1967
“Radio Caroline has become the last outlaw. It may survive for a short while, but anyone who watches westerns at the cinema will know how even the last outlaw gets captured by the sheriff in the end” Edward Short MP 1967 Still waiting for ‘The Sheriff’ in 2009”
There is also a picture of the ex-radioship Ross Revenge at sea, designed to give the impression that “Radio Caroline” broadcasts from a radioship, erm, at sea. The use of the phrase “Still waiting for the sheriff in 2009” is deliberately designed to falsely indicate that “Radio Caroline” is doing something unlicensed, daring, swash-buckling or in some way daring.
Firstly, “Radio Caroline” has submissively signed-up to every available licence and legal agreement with the authorities that it can find to sign up to. There is nothing ‘outside the law’ about it whatsoever. Why would they pretend there is?
Secondly, it is not broadcasting from a ship at sea. Nothing has broadcast from a ship at sea for nearly 20 years. Why would they want to pretend they are?
Thirdly, there is nothing in the rather conservative format of a stream of pop oldies that could be considered radical or even outside the law, so again, a false claim.
They should immediately withdraw this t-shirt of lies and apologise for mis-representing themselves!
